Llanusa, Robertson Honored by Big 12

NORMAN – Sophomore guard Ana Llanusa was named to the All-Big 12 Second Team, while freshman guard Taylor Robertson was selected to the conference's All-Freshman Team on Wednesday.

The honors were voted on by the league's head coaches, who are not allowed to vote for their own players.

Llanusa averaged 19.1 points per game during Big 12 play, which ranked third in the league and finished with eight 20-point scoring performances against conference opponents. Llanusa's 19.1 points per game is the sixth-best scoring average by a Sooner against Big 12 opponents in school history.

The Choctaw, Okla., native scored 30 points three times against Big 12 foes and finished with a career-high 35 points at Iowa State on Jan. 19.

The sophomore set a school record with six straight 20-point scoring performances down the stretch in Big 12 play. Llanusa finished with at least 20 points seven times in OU's final eight games during the regular season. She ranked sixth in the Big 12 with 1.9 steals per contest in conference games and 10^th in the league with a .351 3-point field goal percentage in league action.

This marks the second straight all-conference honor for Llanusa, who was named an honorable mention All-Big 12 selection last season.

Robertson, the league's top 3-pointer shooter, earned a spot on the Big 12 All-Freshman Team by leading the conference in 3-point field goal percentage and 3-pointers per game. The McPherson, Kansas, native averaged 14.1 points per game during the regular season, the second-best scoring average among Big 12 freshmen this year.

Robertson leads the conference with a .461 3-point field goal percentage and 3.45 3-pointers per game. She recorded eight 20-point scoring performances this season and set the OU freshman record with 100 made 3-pointers this year. She is just one of two players to make at least 100 treys in a single season in school history.

The freshman's 3.45 3-pointers per game is the second-best average by a Big 12 player in one season during the league's history. Her .461 3-point field goal percentage is the best clip by a Big 12 player since 2010.

Robertson's 100 made 3-pointers are the most by a freshmen in Division I this season and her .461 3-point field goal percentage ranks fourth nationally. She is the 11^th player in program history to be named to the Big 12 All-Freshman Team.

The Sooners begin the Phillips 66 Big 12 Women's Basketball Championships on Friday as the No. 8 seed. Oklahoma will take on No. No. 9 seed Texas Tech at 6 p.m. CT inside Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Okla. The game will be televised on Fox College Sports Central and tickets are available here.
